Serial ATA alone is poised to become the dominant interface in
storage devices with a semiconductor market forecast of $1 billion
by 2006. CEVA markets two offerings in SATA - SATA 1.5G and SATA
3G.
CEVA offers comprehensive SATA solutions for both SATA-Gen1
(1.5Gbps) and SATA-Gen2 (3Gbps). Both Host and Device
end applications are supported, as is ATAPI.
CEVA's SATA products are fully compliant and PlugFest proven.
CEVA's SATA includes both the SATA Protocol (Command/Transport
/Link layers in RTL) and an exceptionally low power SATA PHY. The
PHY, which has excellent jitter characteristics and supports Spread
Spectrum Clocking, is implemented in various processes spanning
0.18um, 0.13um and 90nm.
CEVA compliments the SATA IP with a complete demonstration system
coupled with advanced test software.

"After evaluating a number of Serial ATA IP vendors, we concluded
that CEVA's SATA technology was clearly the best choice because
it is fully compliant, proven interoperable, and consumes
only 70mW per channel power."
